Project 21 member Niger Innis, whose family has suffered greatly from gun-related violence, decried liberal attempts to further regulate the ability of law-abiding Americans to own and use firearms.

At the 2/22/13 “Black Leaders Speak Out on Gun Control” press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Niger said:

The Second Amendment is not about guns. It’s about freedom. It’s about liberty. And it’s about full humanity of decent people.

Niger added:

And, so, today, in our urban centers, innocent black folk may not be the victims of the Klan or white racism, but we are the victims of merciless criminals that are armed and don’t give a darn about gun control laws.
